>>But a rainbow colored 10” spiked Mohawk would have been just fine.
No. Reason did not report this (you need to go to the USAToday story referenced by Reason to find it), the principal’s justification for this was a written policy against “mohawk haircuts or other extreme cuts.”
I don’t think this is a mohawk or extreme, but Reason is showing how out of touch with the truth “journalism” has become. That was a point that should have been in their article.
The first time I saw this story, there was a photo of the boy and his haircut...It was no “mohawk”...It was very clean-cut about 1/2 inch long with the area around the ears cut tight...
As said, it was a military cut..
Very appropriate haircut...
Maybe, but the rainbow Mohawk I described could considered queer, plus his overt discrimination against the Mohawks could be considered racist, on the part of the principal.
C’mon kids...get-er-done!
One good lawsuit against the racist-homophobic principal, and you could be set for life.
The remedy for an extreme cut is to shave their head? How extreme is that?
